Are chimney sweeps lucky?


Recommended Posts

LOL This one was! Our Sally won the 1986 Uk Supreme show champion, with 100's of entrants. Her dam was a 1st x collie greyhound, and her sire was Eddie Jones Celt(Collie/Greyhound) She'd had several owners until I aquired her at 10 mths old for a measly sum of £25 The previous owner did a swap for her with a stuffed Goshawk + £60 :) She made a brilliant lamping bitch and also won lurcher racing all over the country :toast:
